Apex Global Consulting’s consulting programs help to
integrate diversity into all aspects of an organization’s
structure, systems and culture. Apex Global Consulting has
developed specific interventions to meet the unique needs of
managers and employees in diverse workplace settings.
A Diversity Initiative is a proactive, comprehensive
approach to institutionalizing cultural competence in order
to remain competitive and ethically driven, meet the needs
of diverse stakeholders, and demonstrate compliance with
various national standards. Apex Global Consulting has the
expertise to assist clients in all aspects of designing and
implementing diversity initiatives that are tied to
organizational goals. Apex Global Consulting believes that
successful diversity initiatives must answer the following
questions about an organization:
* Does the structure promote equal opportunity and equal
access to authority and responsibility?
* Are the management systems implemented in an equitable
manner and do they reflect the needs of a culturally
competent workforce?
* Does the culture enhance employee satisfaction,
effectiveness, creativity, and efficiency?
Apex Global Consulting works closely with clients to outline
a Diversity Action Plan that serves as a blueprint for
accomplishing the goals of the diversity initiative and
addressing the structures, systems, and culture of the
organization.
Apex Global Consulting assists organizations in the design
and selection of Diversity Councils, inclusive entities in
which staff and managers from all levels of the organization
work together to develop diversity initiatives. We
skillfully guide Councils in crafting, implementing, and
sustaining innovative and successful efforts.
Councils are particularly important in addressing issues of
policy and management systems. They often focus on areas
such as:
* Policy Review and Benchmarking
* Strengthening and Developing Recruitment and Retention
Programs
* Planning and Assessment
* Promoting Cross-Cultural Communication
* Leading Crisis Interventions
* Networking with Affinity Groups
* Developing Relationships with Women and Minority Suppliers
* Sponsoring Special Events
* Oversight of Training
